Not terribly profound. But the other day I was reading in Luke 12, where Jesus points out that the ravens don't sow or reap, but God provides for them. Then he says the most beautiful thing: "How much more valuable you are than birds!" Even with my selfishness and my pride, even seeing my past mistakes as well as the ones I've yet to make, despite the ugliness of my heart...the God who designed me, loved me and died for me calls me into relationship with him. Wow. And being precious to the Creator & King of all--that makes me highly valuable.
And so are you. Okay, so you probably already knew all this, but on a week when I felt especially undesirable it made me glow a little to know that I, plain ol' Kristi, am valuable to God.
Walk With Me
Glimpses of my perspective on this journey of life God has called me to undertake. Thanks for taking a moment to peer at life through my eyes and heart!
Who Is Kristi Smith?
Simply put, I am a woman in whom God has placed a deep longing to be in his presence.
While on this earth, however, my goal is to glorify God by loving him above all else and by showing sacrificial love to those he has made. Sometimes I succeed--more often I fail. My feeble mind is quick to forget my goal and instead focuses its efforts on making myself comfortable. Thankfully, God is good enough not to leave me as I am, and he continues to teach me and transform me into the person he created me to be!
